    Guys, sorry for the late arrival. There is a lot of true info in these recent posts, there is also a lot of misleading half-truths. I shall attempt to clear the air, but sometimes that is impossible here at MSFN when people doing the discussing already have preconceived notions (which may result in this being my ONLY reply to these recent posts). I speak solely towards my 360Chrome v13.5.1030 Redux as that is the only version I still use. My other versions "should" be the same in this regard. First, yes, it is "true" that iTrusChina Co.,Ltd. is LISTED in the Trusted Certificates Store - that is not the same thing as saying it is being "used" by 360Chrome. The USE of this certificate is "supposed to be" BROKEN in my builds. Now then, with that said, how do we PROVE that the USE of this cert is BROKEN? You must must must first locate a web site that USES that cert! https://valid-isrgrootx2.letsencrypt.org/ does NOT use that cert - it uses "E1". More importantly, it uses "ECDHE_ECDSA" as the key exchange mechanism - this is not compatible with WinXP and cannot be made compatible with WinXP. My 360Chrome is "secure" for this E1 cert using ECDHE_ECDSA because this is on WINDOWS 10 and not XP!

    I'll try that over the weeknd. Thanks.

    I only tried the 1.16.4.35, have not tried the 1.16.6b1 (not sure I've heard of it until just now).

    Hmm, interesting. In Chromium, I do not get a "next video preview" blob, it just goes from one video to the next without any "interstitial". A much more enjoyable YouTube'ing experience, I guess I will have to stick with Chromium over Mozilla for YouTube.

    Those are just one example. I also get a "WIX" ad if I try to rely on uBO only. The "WIX" ad is just a picture, not a video, with a "Skip Ad" button in the corner. uBO will show this PICTURE and sit there, and sit there, and sit there, for WAY too long. Eventually it will disappear on its own, without clicking the "Skip Ad", but just that it sits there, and sits there, and sits there means uBO didn't "block" it. Which AdBlock did you try? There are TONS of them it seems and I've only had success with TWO of them. One auto-updates each and every time you launch your browser - strong dislike for my needs. That was this one -- https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adblock-plus-free-ad-bloc/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb This is the one that I am using and it is doing everything I need it to do, but I technically run this side-by-side uBO. Here -- https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adblock-%E2%80%94-best-ad-blocker/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom I use one-and-only-one filter list in "AdBlock -- best ad blocker": I use only five lists in uBO. Most (if not all, I forget now) are actually "default" uBO lists, they are listed in the "Custom" section because of the way I build my profile.

    Newest PM28, newest uBO Legacy mod, updated default lists, added the two lists mentioned in our other OT discussion. This video show ads for me in UXP PM28 whereas my Chromium setup does not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-lUGSJ9kiE Maybe you don't call this an "ad", maybe technically it isn't, but it is an "annoyance" and my Chromium setup blocks this "pos" - Play the video all the way through, without fast-forwarding, these are most definitely ads and my Chromium setup blocks them (but requires two ad blockers working side-by-side) -
  8. NotHereToPlayGames
    I shall move this discussion to your uBO Legacy extension thread. I am seeing "ads" in UXP PM28.
  9. NotHereToPlayGames
    Whoala, we clearly can't call Thorium a clone of Supermium.
  10. NotHereToPlayGames
    I definitely do here! I've reverted to using "AdBlock — best ad blocker" running ONE list in conjuction with uBO running only FIVE lists. The "AdBlock — best ad blocker" apparently blocks YouTube ads differently because uBO will SHOW the ad for a split second, if not more, before skipping the ad. uBO will prevent the ad from PLAYING but it still SHOWS the ad. At least for Chromium-based.
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Okay, working now. (sorry for the derail, lol) Using uBO only (instead of that extra ad blocker) enables me to prevent my lists from AUTO-UPDATING. I prefer to MANUALLY update my lists (auto-updates will "flag" IT at work).
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    Thanks. I definitely need to experiment. I build my profile here at home and use my fully portable profile also at work. I only use YouTube at work for "background noise". Work computer will let me run my portable browser, but it somehow blocks installing extensions directly, so I install them at home and zip-and-send the whole browser.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    I definitely prefer NOT to. I'll keep experimenting. I was really attempting to AVOID having a GIGANTIC number of lists (ie, I was trying to keep the number lists UNDER SIX).
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    I'm going to keep my current setup. I only need *ONE* list to block YouTube ads but it is not a uBO list, it's ONE list inside "AdBlock - best ad blocker". It defeats the purpose if I need to extend my FIVE uBO lists to TWENTY-SOME lists. My five uBO + one "AdBlock - best ad blocker" seems just fine for my needs. If your list would have worked for uBO to block YouTube ads by using six or seven lists instead of five but one extension instead of two, that would have been a step in the right direction. But jumping my 5 lists up to 20-some, nope, I'll pass. But thanks again for the suggested TWO lists, but no, adding those two lists did not prevent the need for my one extra extension.
  15. NotHereToPlayGames
    Didn't work but thanks for providing the list info.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    When you HOVER OVER your YouTube-AdBlocker-Filter, can you show me what the status bar shows as the SOURCE of the list?
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    I cannot use your mod uBO Legacy, it is for Mozilla-based and I run Chromium-based. Seems the LISTS between uBO-Mozilla and uBO-Chromium are DIFFERENT. I see nothing called "quick fixes" and nothing called "goodbyeads-youtube".
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    A tad OT, but what lists are you guys using in uBO? I import my lists because I rebuild my profile often and I disable my internet during profile creation, these are the lists I'm using: But they do not block YouTube ads so I rely on a separate extension called "AdBlock — best ad blocker", version 5.22.0, with one and only one list:

    I was on 'bare metal' XP until only just about a month and a half or so ago. I gave up on XP. I felt like a dog chasing a flea on the tip of my tail, constantly running in circles and never catching that flea. The last straw for me was my checking account web site would no longer run on XP + 360Chrome.

    I have ran (in VM only) some Thorium releases in the past. LONG before Supermium was ever a thing! I did find Thorium to be STABLE. Even with only 2GB RAM allocated to the VM. Like it or not, Supermium is simply NOT THERE -- *yet* I personally don't mind, in the least, viewing Thorium EXACTLY as we did 360Chrome "in the days of forgotten lore". Nobody trusted 360Chrome in the beginning either. It was MSFN Members that evolved it into something we were comfortable with. Logging its every connection, hex editing .dll's, customizing GUI, et cetera. Nothing wrong, in the least, with doing the same to Thorium... And Supermium... Show a screen cap of Thorium making a questionable connection. The "throw granny from the cliffs" scare tactic approach isn't doing anybody any good.
  22. NotHereToPlayGames
    I do not install bundled fonts to the OS so my Supermium still shows the same boxes as the Edge screencap above. I do not need what I think of as a PHONE FONT installed on my DESKTOP computer. To each their own, of course.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    I would add that Thorium has existed longer than Supermium. I have not used it but I cannot claim to have really used Supermium either - I launch Supermium to TRY to use it, it pegs the CPU at 100%, tends to make its way out of the 100%, only to resume 100% a minute or two later, I throw the computer out the living room window, I visit a local retailer to replace the computer, then a local window shop to replace the living room window.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    Those are not technically "icons" (which imply images), but a FONT where each "letter" of the font is a "glyph". You are blocking a "remote font" so you are getting a "square" instead of the "font LETTER".
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    I can tell you that from my experience, the "disappearing fonts" in 360Chrome were *always* when the font-size .css attribute was in *em* units instead of something like *px*. This also is true of your Pale Moon forum "Register", "Login", and "Unread posts" links, the font-size is in *em*. "Flex containers" also seem to be an issue that also causes "disappearing fonts" in XP. At the time, I used a Tampermonkey script to convert any-and-all *em* font-size's to *px* and I never encountered any "disappearing font" afterwards.
